Bio:  Fernanda Lorenti

Transformational Speaker, Coach and Actress

I'm Fernanda Lorenti- a mom, Hollywood Actress, Model, Author, and International Empowerment Speaker.  At 14, I became wheelchair-bound and Doctors said I would never walk again.  Through faith.visualization, and persistent physical therapy, God miraculously restored my mobility, and two years later, I not only walked again, but won my first race. 

At 21, I survived a serious car accident that left me in a coma.  Doctors didn't believe I would make it, but while a Priest prayed by my bedside, God performed a miracle, and I woke-an experience that deepened my faith and strengthened my belief that nothing is impossible with Him.

Since then, I have dedicated my life to helping others step into their God- given potential through empowerment workshops, personal development seminars, and speaking engagements.  My hope is to inspire people to trust God's plan, embrace their purpose and live a life filled with hope, joy, and faith.

Fernanda is honored to be a part of the Positioned To Be Blessed Women's Conference this year- "His Grace is Sufficient".  We are excited about how God is going to use her at this 2026 year's event!

Our Mission Statement

JWM Ministries (Joycelyn Williams Ministries) is a ministry devoted to the downtrodden and brokenhearted, bringing hope to the hopeless by providing a safe haven where women can come together in the unity of the Spirit. Here, they are invited to bask in the anointing of God and experience His presence in unimaginable ways—ways that bring deliverance from every obstacle and empowerment to face life’s challenges with boldness and dignity.

Our mission is to help women rediscover their value and embrace their identity as God’s “special treasured possession,” unashamed. Through the Ministry of Worship, Song, Dance, Prayer, and the Word of God, we intentionally minister to the needs of women, most notably through our annual conferences.

We believe that God “is no respecter of persons,” and therefore we embrace everyone who crosses our path, ensuring that all feel accepted, valued, and appreciated. JWM Ministries is intentional in love, motivated by prayer, and inspired to encourage, uplift, and intercede on behalf of every woman who enters our doors.

Our desire is to create an atmosphere where women are free to be themselves—without fear of judgment or criticism—but instead are empowered to embrace the beauty within as God’s precious jewels.
